Is that the median? Most people I know are poor as hell I guess.

That would be just my income. Adding in my spouses would make it above median. I suppose wether or not you think that qualifies as wealthy is up to you, I know to me with my lifestyle I could really turn that into a strong foundation.

Seriously my income going up to 80k and my spouse's being the same would be amazing. We could pay off student loans, replace my clunker of a car, get the larger house we've wanted (mortgage of course but so much easier to save the down payment), finally get the solar panel setup I want, pad out the retirement account, that's just a lot of extra income over the time. Keeping my lifestyle the same all doable with that kind of increase in income.

Also never said I'd never have to work again. You could hand me 1 million today, and I think we both know that is not enough to live the rest of our lives on. Still a life altering amount of money.

And I guess this all comes down to.what we mean by "profit". That's after all buisness expenses, but I suppose I didn't think in this hypothetical company if I'd be paying myself a wage or not.
